two many boots "Johns" <johneastwell[ at ]ntlworld.comspam> 6/11/2007 8:50:34 PM I was running 98se and upgraded to XP, however it took two attempts as on the first occassion it was installed on the wrong disc which I then wiped. The trouble is that now when I boot up instead of being offered the choice of 98 or XP I get 98/XP/XP with one of the XP options pointing to the now empty drive. How do I remove this boot option at startup?

Go to the BOOT.INI tab and click on the "Check All Boot Paths" button. Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
